First stop after Amsterdam was Normandy. Incredible beauty, lovely mussels and an over arching sense of melancholy made for a bitter sweet stay. We stayed at a lovely B&B in Bayeux that had resident bunny ‘Lily’ living there. Charlotte’s jet lag and current animal obsession kept us and Lily busy… Will have some Lomos of the town up this week.
It’s 5:52 AM Friday morning, Charlotte has been up since 2:45 AM and we’re off to Paris on the 8:00 AM train. Jody’s jumping in the shower and I’m blogging in bed with a glass of red wine and a very social young Charlotte beside me. We visited friends, ate beautiful food and walked and walked and walked. Some photos from the past 48 hours, so much fun.
We arrived in Amsterdam today after a long two flight trip. Charlotte was a champ and made it through without incident, lots of nice comments from fellow travellers. Jody and I however, are a little destroyed! We have lots planned for the two days in Holland before we take the train to Paris. So far, the food has been great and the bike culture inspiring. Some photos from around our hotel in Vondelpark.
Had a remarkable week up on Hornby Island in the middle of August. Words really can’t describe how great it was. Charlotte had Mom, Dad, Gaga and Nana all week. Big food, big wines, big sleeps, big nature and big love. Full set can be viewed here.
Found our favourite beach in Kailua today. Absolutely perfect for our little sand flea Charlotte. We’re going back tomorrow for our last full day before returning to Vancouver, going to make it count. Where did the time go?
Some scenes from the North Shore yesterday.
